Café Auszeit at the Sigmaringen Clinic extends opening hours for visitors

There is reason to be happy at the SRH Klinikum Sigmaringen: From October 1, 2025, the newly opened Café Auszeit will be expanding its opening hours. In this way, the clinic is responding to the wishes of visitors, who in the past have often complained about the early closing times. Especially after work, there was often a lack of an inviting place to spend relaxed time with relatives. The new opening times will give guests the opportunity to stay longer in the future: the café is now open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and public holidays. This change was happily announced by SRH press spokeswoman Gisela Dürr, who emphasized the positive reception of the café. Before its opening in February 2025, there was no bistro in the hospital for several years, as the previously operated Café Casino was closed during renovation work and the corona pandemic schwaebische.de reported.

The Café Auszeit, which was ceremoniously opened in the foyer of the new clinic building on February 6, 2025, is more than just a place for snacks and drinks. Managing director Sven Schönfeld emphasizes the important role of the café in the clinic. It offers patients, relatives, employees and visitors a space for relaxation and enjoyment. The café is part of a larger overall gastronomic concept in the hospital, which also includes an à la carte service in the wards and a 24/7 canteen for employees. The cafeteria was previously closed in 2021, which is why since then only drinks and snacks have been available via vending machines. This has now improved significantly with the opening of the café. kliniken-sigmaringen.de explains the importance of a central location for patient recovery.

A pleasure for everyone

Café Auszeit offers a tempting selection of fresh coffee specialties, baked goods and warm dishes. There are also sweet temptations such as cakes and pastries. When selecting products, emphasis is placed on regional food, which makes the visit even more attractive. In order to meet everyone's needs, a kiosk range is also offered, which includes hygiene products and magazines.

This development is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the quality of catering in the SRH clinics. The aim is to create a welcoming atmosphere in which patients and their relatives can feel comfortable. The importance of catering in everyday hospital life was also highlighted by District Administrator Stefanie Bürkle, who praised the central location for the recovery of patients.

In summary, it can be said that the new opening times and the expanded offering in Café Auszeit represent real added value for all visitors to the SRH Klinikum Sigmaringen. So if you're planning a visit soon, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to enjoy the cozy atmosphere and the freshly prepared food.
